This theory suggests that an increased impossibility results in a less magical effect. The “Too Perfect Theory” states that if a trick is too perfect, it might paradoxically become less impressive, or give away its secret method. These findings point to joint contributions of experience and information cues on metacognitive judgments about other people’s change detection abilities.
Interestingly, change blindness led to lower predictions.

Moreover, there was a significant difference between their predictions and offline predictions from Experiment 1. In Experiment 2, participants’ personal experience (i.e., whether they detected the change) biased their predictions. In Experiment 1, participants predicted that others would detect the salient change more easily than the subtle change, which was consistent with the actual detection reported in Experiment 2. In Experiment 2, 80 participants watched either the subtle or the salient version of the trick and they were asked to provide predictions for the experienced change. In Experiment 1, 60 participants were instructed to notice a subtle and a salient visual change in a magic trick that exploits change blindness, after which they estimated the probability that others would detect the change. We examined how intrinsic cues (i.e., saliency of a visual change) and experience cues (i.e., detection/blindness) affect people’s predictions about others’ change detection abilities. This study explored the interaction between visual metacognitive judgments about others and cues related to the workings of System 1 and System 2.
